Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The brothers seem very close, and they're a wholesome, family-friendly trio.

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    No violence except for the hordes of girls who follow the brothers everywhere.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Screaming, crying girls swoon over the three Jonas Brothers, and in one quick scene, the audience catches a glimpse of a shirtless Joe and Kevin starting to change backstage.
  • Language:

    "Oh my God" is as strong as it gets.
  • Consumerism:

    The Jonas Brothers themselves are the "product" on display throughout the film -- and it serves as a powerful promotional tool for the unbelievably popular act.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

What Parents Need to Know

This review of Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience was written by Sandie Angulo Chen

Parents need to know that this 3D concert is G-rated. There's nothing inappropriate to keep away the hordes of adoring primary-school fans, who along with their tween and teen counterparts, will want to see their beloved Kevin, Joe, and Nick burn up on screen. Like Disney's other chosen acts, the Jonases are incredibly clean-cut. They obviously don't drink, swear, or do much more than occasionally, in the case of Joe, flirt with a pretty fan or two. When they're not on stage, they're shown attending promotional events around New York.

More on Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience

What’s the Story?

JONAS BROTHERS: THE 3D CONCERT EXPERIENCE is a tween girl's dream come true. For 76 minutes, fans get a look at Kevin (the side-burned one), Joe (the heartthrob), and Nick (the adorable one) at their sold-out 2008 Madison Square Garden concert. Aside from a few scenes of the brothers off-stage (hanging out in their hotel room with protective bodyguard Big Rob, making nonstop publicity stops around New York City, and driving to buy the first three copies of their album A Little Bit Longer) the action is the concert itself, with a couple of guest appearances from friends, fellow tween-pop acts Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato.

Is It Any Good?

It might sound ridiculous, but this is basically a Disney-fied, 2009 version of Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same. Both follow an insanely popular group's performance at Madison Square Garden. Both provide very limited glimpses into the musicians' personal lives. And both cater to the bands' huge fanbases. But instead of loopy '70s fantasy sequences, the Jonases stage a music video in Central Park dressed like Gatsby partygoers. Instead of providing the soundtrack to which a generation got, ahem, "Dazed and Confused," the Jonases sing catchy, inoffensive pop tunes girls 6 to 16 everywhere adore. The real difference is that 30 years from now there probably won't be hardcore Jonas Brothers fans to keep this unremarkable concert film in circulation.

Fans Burnin' Up for the boys should be prepared that there's absolutely nothing gossip-worthy in this "documentary" -- unless the sight of Lovato or Swift on stage with the brothers, or for that matter, a peek at Kevin's chest hair, is enough to make you shriek. Think of this event flick as merely a way for the 99-percent of Jonas Brothers devotees who couldn't buy tickets to finally see their concert. Parents should also be prepared -- take earplugs to the theater.

    Good

    Again, my 4 and 7 year olds loved it! We went shopping one dreary afternoon for "boring stuff" as they call it. I can swear that when they saw the marquee that said that the Jonas Brothers movie was playing, they got so excited! Even Joseph, Kaylee, and Kya went in, and Railegh and Alexis loved it, naturally. Alexis and her started bouncing and screaming when Kevin and Joe were shirtless! Luckily it wasn't too crowded, and nobody seemed to mind, but strange... but I guess my daughters liked it!

    All ages appropriate

    I adore the Jonas Brothers. In all honesty, I am a little old to like them, but I do. I went to see this movie, and there is absoulutly nothing wrong at all with this movie. The Jonas Brothers are very positive role models, in all aspects of the word. By all means let your children watch no matter what age.

    Horrible for anyone

    This has got to be the single handed worst movie there ever was and ever will be in the entire world. This makes Aids seem pleasurable.

    Ok...im gonna have to agree with "Twilight" and "Matt.." theres not much of a review to write here, buncha Disney spawned pop wannabes, basically like every other "boy band"...girls love them for...i dont even know what..and their music is mediocre at best...

    More Jonas Brothers?

    Utterly ridiculous movie about 3 prima-donnas on Tour. There isn't really much of a review to write here, I guess if you're a fan of the "Jonas Brothers" than this movie is for you?

    Great for all ages!

    This was a fantastic movie! My twin sister and I (we're 19) saw it Thursday opening week. We had the theater all to ourselves! It's a great movie to sing along to. Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience was a very happy movie and is great for anyone any age!

    I enjoyed this just as much as my 8 year old!

    I took my 8 year old daughter and her friend to see this the night it opened. Both of them are Jonas Brothers fans but not quite at the age where they are "fanatics." They both really liked it and thought the 3-D effects were great. They sang along at parts and were enjoyed the experience. I like the Jonas Brother. I'm not a huge fan of celebrity role models for my children but I know it's unavoidable. The Jonas Brothers seem to have their heads on straight and provide a good example of both positive family relationships and lifestyle choices. The movie itself was as good as any other concert movie and the film was indeed pretty cool, and you did get that "best" seat at the concert feeling. The theater was packed with a variety of ages of girls (I'd say 5-17) and there was a lot of singing and cheering. My daughter left the movie happy and that's what a mom likes!!
